On the lower terrace the palaestra stood, comprising a square central court of the “impluvium” type surrounded by porticoes which were divided in rooms. There were two entrances, one from the northeast and the other from the north. The preserved inscriptions inform us about the use of these rooms as changing room, dusting room, poolroom, possibly also of a sanctuary of Hermes or Hercules. The courtyard was intended for practicing wrestling or boxing.
The palaestra was destroyed in Late Antiquity and was covered by a large building of the 6th century A.D.
